In For the Fill: Domino's Pizza Pasta Bread Bowls

By: Finance Foodie

Even though I've eaten my way through many a critically acclaimed and wallet unfriendly restaurants, there are some nights where I love to just curl up on my couch, slip on some aesthetically unfriendly sweatpants, and watch some trashy reality show.

Just the other night when I was watching Tool Academy 2 (please don't judge me), I saw an ad for Domino's Pizza offering a FREE Chocolate Lava Crunch Cake with every purchase of a Pasta Bread Bowl. For those of you who don't know, the pasta bread bowl is basically Domino's newest line of single-meal pasta portions of chicken alfredo, primavera, mac and cheese, Italian sausage marinara, and chicken carbonara pastas, baked into edible bowls. In other words, carb-o-holic heaven!

Since I am still on my "Countdown to Fashion Week" diet, I knew I would feel uber-guilty if I indulged in such waist-line unfriendly delicious comfort foods. But the sinful goodness of the carb and sugar boats glistened through the TV screen and my rabbit food (garden salad) that I was noshing on suddenly became extremely unappetizing (as opposed to just mildly unappetizing). I broke down and let me tell you, it was truly worth breaking my diet for just one taste of that the mac and cheese pasta bowl and chocolate lava cake.

So reader friends... now we get to the fun stuff! Financefoodie.com is giving out TWO $15 gift cards to Domino's Pizza so that you can also try the bread bowl and chocolate lava cake (or whatever else you like on their menu). All you need to do is answer the following question in my comments section:
